Ocean Bottom Museum

Jeff gets a no-prize "under the sea" for bringing us news of the latest Discovery Channel project:

Texas A&M University researchers have found the wreckage of a fleet of Japanese submarines that terrorized U.S. ships throughout World War II.

The vessels were sunk by the US Navy in 1946, and the location was classified for nearly sixty years. Now that information is declassified, and that's how researchers were able to find them. Apparently preservation is quite good, making it a sort of Japanese submarine museum down there. Look for the show this fall!
